i'm a lawmaker now, i'm in the political arena, but i still and always will be in my heart a united states marine. there is nothing i want more than to support my commander in chief when he draws a red line. i think that's just in me. but since he drew that line, since secretary kerry came out, he has done nothing but mess this up and he has lost my confidence. >> so what do we do as a nation in light of where we are? and most people would probably agree that assad did use chemical weapons against innocent civilians. so in light of your sort of lost confidence in the president which i assume is different than your confidence in the military who would be executing the president's directions, do we just sort of sit and wait and hope the that president assad doesn't do it again? >> unfortunately, we're now in an untenable situation. we're kind of damned if we do, damned if we don't. but what i have to weigh is the overall benefit to the united states. the benefit now, what benefit would we receive from striking syria? i think that the problems that could come of that and the death and re-entering of

he managed to carve a likeness of the emblem of the united states marine corps. is an eagle atop a globe. it was something spectacular. as i said, a five-foot tall chunk of tree truck. i asked how he happened to get it. he miled -- smiled and said it wasn't easy. the museum is popular with marines. many makes pilgrimages to the area every year. it seem like pretty much gives a gift of the t-shirt. he has quite a few. he was wearing on the one day i visited him. it made an honorary marine. and -- it was really something. after awhile of him showing me around, i asked him about the cover, and all of a sudden, the man who had been so friendly, and so that righted to show me around it's a big guy, too. in the book i describe him as being built like a shipping crate. he got very nervous all the sudden, and he said, yes, he had heard about it. he didn't know who had it, who sold it, who bought it. i came to understand there's a community of world war i caf german -- scavengers and collectors in france. it's a shadowy league. they don't like each other very much. they d

marines.com, the main website for the united states marine corps became the latest target of a cyber attack, apparently by the syrian electronic army, a group of hackers known for taking over various media websites. while not believed any classified information was obtained, it instills fears the attacks could continue and cause a real economic toll. if you try to visit marines.com monday, this is what you would have seen, a letter addressed to u.s. marines trying to persuade them against military action in syria. along with these pictures of people dressed in u.s. military uniforms holding up signs like "stay out of syria." a marine corps official tells cnn the site is primarily for recruiting and no military intelligence was compromised, but this work of pro syrian hackers once again raising concerns about the vulnerability of u.s. sites and servers. >> i think at this point it's a little bit along the lines of more bragging rights, hey, look at what we have been able to do, look at what we've been able to impact. >> the same group took responsibility for taking down "the new york

as a veteran of the united states marine corps who served 40 years told me just this last week when i asked for his advice on what the president was asking us to do he said, anytime you kill people in the name of the united states government it's an act of war. so like others in this chamber over the last few weeks i have attended meetings with the president where i've had the honor of being in his presence and listening to him in person on two occasions, no listening to other administration officials and i have sat through hours like all of us, hours of classified re-things with the central intelligence agency, the department of defense and the state department. i have listened intently as senator kerry described and what i thought at first was an inadvertent statement made as the result of fatigue and i can only imagine what he must have been going through shuttling back and forth around the world to try to resolve this issue but he described this strike as unbelievably small. i was further surprised when i heard the white house press secretary said no, it was not a gaffe. he did no

united states and other allies? >> when ronald reagan lost marines in lebanon back in 1982, he went through them right away. he did not talk about enforcing norms of that sort because he did not see that as an act of weakness on the side of the american presidency. he saw that as a tactical measure to sustain our national interest. if the president changes his mind or says the so-called red line no longer applies today because circumstances have changed, people will accept that. i do not think that will will be held against him. >> given the administration has previously demanded assad must go, plus the initial broad authorization they submitted over the weekend, and if you include the calls form summoner -- from senator mckay -- mccain, does this go beyond chemical weapons? is this about tilting the balance in the civil war in favor of the opposition? >> not according to the president. he says this is going to be a neutral strike to punish the searing government for the use of chemical weapons. this is the danger. once you send those missiles in, let's say the effect is immediate and it does incur a lot of

it's another retired green general, never been -- >> another retired marine general said we suddenly the united statesas no moral obligation to do the impossible in syria come adding "if americans take ownership of this, it will be a full-throated, very, very serious or." -- war." >> that is why it is completely wrong. it is a hornets nest. the only reason we should get involved is if we have a strategic interest, if we think this is the argument that the iranians, hezbollah and syria, which is now a puppet of iran, are a threat to the region. the arabs think so. jordanians,abs, the israelis, and even the egyptians -- everyone in the region. therefore, we can not a victory of that side because it would be intolerable and a standing threat. if you think that, you intervene in a way that stops assad from winning, as he is now, and perhaps tilts the balance the other way. anything less than that with a worthgic objective is not doing, and worse than nothing because it incurs tremendous risks. >> just to put a little historical perspective on this, barely 30 years ago, one of the toughest, tough-minded pr

united states. its diplomatic initiative helps to marinate that image. to be a relatively passive bystander to a u.s. attack would be a moment of uncomfortable truth. until this week any attempt to find common ground with the west on syria would have made russia appear to be dancing to the u.s. tune. now of course they caught us in our weakness. peter, you and i may not be on the exact same page but i want to get to the page i'm not just for a minute. it does seem the president has no cards to play. the congress i think we'd agree was not going to give him the authority to act. and that was going to be a terrible defeat. and perhaps even in the senate. >> right. >> and most certainly in the house. and that i think would have left him empty with no weapons in his hand and no options. what would have happened if we didn't have the russian card to play? >> no, that's exactly right. i mean, regardless of what you think about the likely effectiveness of this russian plan in terms of getting rid of the chemical weapons in syria, it's very understandable why ob

our sailors, soldiers, airmen and marines signed up to defend the united states of america f.dent succeeded in weakening the assad administration, look, assad is a monster. if they weakened him and the result had been al qaeda or al nusra terrorists taking control, seizing chemical weapons, that would have under mined u.s. national security rather than advancing it. >> what do you make of oh research that 70% of tea party conservatives aren't happy with the leadership in congress and i think this probably got worse when eric cantor proposed the one vote that would fund and defund obamacare and the funding one would go forward. people are are angry about that. >> well, people are frustrated with politicians in washington who frankly aren't listening to the american people. we are in the middle of the most important domestic fight in years. that is the fight to defund obamacare between now and september 30th. last time i was on the show, sean, i talked about the national website don'tfundit.com. within 24 hours of going on "hannity" we had over 100,000 additional people go to si
